Yes, yes, it's that time of the year again - a new Fiona Apple album confirmed (which makes anything that happens between now and spring 2011 irrelevant and annoying), MorphOS 2.6 released (will be the next news item), and, of course, a new Ubuntu release showcasing the best of the best that the Free software world has to offer in the desktop world.

Except that release after release, finger-pointing after finger-pointing, KDE 4 still performs like a dog for my particular setup.

FTFY

KDE 4 works perfectly well for me, and I suspect I'm in the silent majority otherwise the project would be pretty much dead by now. But by the same token, I wouldn't declare KDE 4 to be a fait accompli, because I know that many people still have issues that need to be addressed, even if they don't affect me.
